New Belgium Juicy Watermelon Lime Ale. Brewed and bottled by New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, CO and Asheville, NC. 5% Alc. by Vol.Crystal clear, pale amber color, slim white head.
Light fruit in the nose, slightly sweet, ...huh.
In the mouth: very watermelon-y, and there's the lime. Light bodied, drinkable, but...not really hitting the flavors notes we want. Seriously lacking deliciousness. What do we want in our watermelon ales? Do we want watermelon ales? I know watermelon wheat ales are popular, but beyond that? Non-wheat, with lime added, like this guy?
I know I don't. Gonna do something uncharacteristic and pour it down the drain. No fun in this one.
"Cool off with this refreshingly fruity summer beer brewed with watermelon and lime."
Or don't.
